  1. He changed his management company recently, so all this doesn't suprise me. I really don't think he is as good as he thinks he is. Saints is his level, he has too many lapses in concentration to be a top, top player. If and it's big if we could find a replacement who can complement JWP who is hard working and adds more goals to than PEH, then we should try and get as much as possible in the Summer for him. Doubt we have any money to spend though.
  2. I've got a spare too, but can't see the game going ahead though.
  3. Without having new investment or a complete takeover it is only a matter of time before we eventually get relegated. We will make a loss on all the players out on loan who are no wanted anymore and we won't invest in the squad anymore and probably rely on the youth set up for new players, hence the appointment of Matt Crocker. You stand still for a few windows and it catches up with you eventually, look at Spurs. Bleak times ahead without a new owner or fresh investment. Getting fed up with people slating others who have ago a Kat, she is to blame for this without question. She maybe related to her Father, but is noway a Saint!!
  4. I wouldn't play Valery in this game and I don't see him as Premier League right back either. He simply is not good enough defensively and has massive errors in judgement or mistakes that mostly lead to goals. I would start KWP, as I think is a more sold option and he isn't playing against a physical type of team in Norwich. I personally think Valery would make a good right winger, as he is very good going forward and has a decent delivery. With Djenpo and Redmond out, might be a shout playing him right wing and Armstrong left wing. He'll probably start Boufal on the right and Armstrong on the left though.
  5. That's why every club in the world wants to sign Boufal then, as he must be good as Messi. Look at his chances created, big chances created, goals etc and he will be nowhere near the leader board. You can put stats like that up, but these are pointless stats. He has no end product, you may as well have a freestyler play for us. 69 appearances in the league for us and has 3 goals/4 assists.
  6. He's not good enough, simple as that. He has no pace to beat a man and when he does he tries to beat them again. His delivery is always under or over hit. An amazing 5 a side player, not a great premier league player. Get rid in the summer.
  7. Think it is a strong possibility that games will be played behind closed doors soon. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/mar/05/premier-league-matches-closed-doors-coronavirus-everton I'll be a bit annoyed if this is Norwich with train travel etc booked.
  8. I don't think he will start Boufal and Djenpo, even though I would. Boufal was very poor against West Ham, but promising the last home game he played before he went off injured. I think he will do: McCarthy KWP Bednarek Stephens Bertrand JWP Romeu PEH Djenpo Ings Long
  9. Really hope I'm wrong, but this has either got 0-0 or 1-0 Newcastle written all over it. We can't break down teams at home due to lack of creativity and Newcastle will sit deep and try to hit us on the break with the pace of Almiron and Saint-Maximum. If the latter has hit shooting boots on Saturday and they are clinical it could be a long afternoon. Until Ralph finds a way of overcoming the Burnley's, West Ham's and Newcastle's of this league expect the same results time and time again.

    I did that last season. Sat by the corner flag next the Saints fans.
  11. After a couple of days to reflect on that performance I can conclude that I am never going to West Ham again if I am located in upper part of that stadium. Awful view, rubbish atmosphere and overall poor experience. Ralph mucked up on Saturday and he needs to address the problem with playing against two physical forwards and teams that by pass midfield, otherwise most teams will do this and we are in trouble. We make Antonio look world class every time we play West Ham, we may as well hand Burnley and West Ham 6 points each at the start of the season and save everyone's time and money. The subs were utterly bonkers, it was as if he wanted to shut up shop and hold onto a 3-1 defeat instead of going for it. If we would have got a goal with 15 mins to go, the crowd would have got edgy and who knows what would have happend. The only positive was that I live 4 stops on the overground and was back home before 5.45pm. Saturday has to be better, as I believe 38-40 points might not keep you up this year.
  12. Good win and performance. As it always with saints, we should have scored 3 or 4 more and been more clinical. Villa probably the worst team to play at St Mary's this season and their fans were extremely quiet. Thought it was the best atmosphere at St Mary's for a long time with the crowd not getting on the players back even though it was still 1-0 into stoppage time. Armstrong proving to be an absolute bargain and Djenepo was a completely different player from the Burnley game.
  13. Irrespective of it being Lallana, a 30 + year old with history of injuries doesn't fit our model. Was a great player for us before, acted like a pr*ck and burnt his bridges to be honest. Was booed (by me included) when he warmed up against us at Liverpool a couple of weeks ago too. I wouldn't want him back.
  14. I think the atmosphere at home is one of the major problems for our lack of points at home. There is always a nervousness or groans when we play the ball around at the back and that definitely filters through to the players. Unfortunately we are in a world now where everyone wants everything now and football is no different. I go to the majority of away games now, as the home atmosphere is so toxic and awful. Away from home everyone gets behind the boys. The other reason is we are not set up to be a home team with possession. Without Redmond and bow Boufal out injured we have no creativity or spark going forward. We are a counter attacking side and this doesn't work against teams who sit back and give you possession, as we cannot break sides down and and then the crowd get impatient. Ralph has mentioned it loads of times about the crowd are not helping and commentators are constantly mentioning the nervousness at home games. This needs to change and quickly.
